HIV from touching stripper's vagina?
Recently during a lap dance, I touched a stripper's vagina for about 2-3 seconds. I literally just had my hand on the top part of her vagina for those few seconds. About 5-10 minutes later on my way because I was rushing, I forgot to wash my hands and on my way home I might have touched the inside of my nose. Now I know this is not a big deal to begin with but my main concern is that I had been having a "cold sore" or herpe in my nose for over a week now. I had been constantly touching it and it was bleeding and drying up and re-infecting. Is it possible to get the HIV if touched any of these dry blood clots in my nose 10-15 minutes after my incident even though my hand was very dry and to the best of my knowledge no vagina fluid had been on my finger?
No it can not. Everyone has cuts and things of that nature. So if your throughts were true just about everyone would have HIV.
I thought it was able to go through cuts or open sores like the one I had. Even if I had vagina fluid that was dried off?
Because HIV is not transmitted by touching like you have said. You have to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex for a risk.
Thanks for the quick response but I was just wondering if you can give me a small explanation of why I don't have a risk. If it is not too much trouble.
